Hi all,
I bought this 8 years ago but only recently found the time to build it (thanks Coronavirus!). It’s newly assembled but only used for about a minute, just to check it worked and see how it handles. If I’m honest, the fun for me is in the building of these kits so I’m looking to move this on and buy a new one to put together.
I haven’t done anything with the body shell or associated parts and stickers. These are all included as is the original box, all instructions and unused parts. No ESC, receiver or servo is included. The kit was built using full ball bearings throughout.
I’m asking £160 inc UK postage which is quite reasonable given that this is now hard to get hold of. You could easily sell the body parts and recoup a lot of the outlay if you want to fit a different shell. Payment via PayPal gift preferred.
Cheers,
Paul

Hi everyone
I am thinking of selling my vintage midnight pumpkin it is in very original condition and runs nice I haven't owned it from new. The chassis is in pretty good to nice condition there are a few scrapes and scratches but considering its age it is not bad the only things I have replaced from memory are the four bump stop rubbers as they had perished and half of the gearbox case as it was cracked and the two front body post were replaced as they were missing the rear ones are original other wise it has had no other new parts. The chassis has a crack but doesn't seem to effect it in anyway. The tyres have flat spots on them but are original as far as I know. The body is good and solid with no breaks/cracks and has all original parts. It has got its original box and some spares like some leftover stickers and remains of a parts tree. also comes with nearly mint instruction manual. I will try and include battery, battery charger and transmitter cant guarantee they will work. I have a picture attached to another post named (Tamiya RC cars for sale and price advice)

Tamiya bush devil kit with ESC and BB Which came with the kit.
New and unbuilt.
Some parts have become detached from sprue, only two or three part. This came like this from tamiya when new.
Great Xmas present.
£150 ono Can post.

Built but never ran (any slight scratches are from build), includes all original parts, original box (some tears but ok condition), Airtronics XL2P Controller (never used and in original box with servos already installed), and 1 extra body (unpainted) with decals. All items have been properly stored for over 30 years. Nerf bar and CRP battery tray can be removed and original antenna and battery tray installed. Extra body and decals are a new purchase and not vintage. If you have any concerns about the condition of the equipment this is a comment by Holmes Hobbies about the Trinity Monster Horsepower "1985 World Champions" motor that was purchased around the same time and initially supposed to go into the Supershot. This motor was recently sold. "We figured you might be interested in some of the stuff sent to us for repairs. This week's gem is a nearly mint vintage Trinity Monster Horsepower "1985 World Champions" motor. This thing has some crazy soft springs and the power leads are attached via ring terminals. After all these decades, it only needed a simple rebuild and now it is good as new!" Treat yourself to an extremely rare true shelf queen. $700

Hello, I'm new here (I guess you knew that). Very quick intro... I used to use remote control cars approx. 30 years ago (just for fun, not competition), I started off with a Tamiya Sand Scorcher and later also bought a Tamiya Boomerang (1986 ish). My Mum has just moved house and both cars (and kits) have turned up again, much to the excitement of myself and even more so my 6 year old son. Well, all the Boomerang needed was a new battery and we were away but now we need/want a second car (as you all know) to more than double the fun ! For that reason (and to help fund the second car) I've decide that maybe the Sand Scorcher would be better off in the hands of somebody more clued-up and who could appreciate it more than me and my son will (he'll just smash it up I'm sure), So I'm looking to sell it but really not sure where to price it at and also I'm writing this during my (late) lunch break and just realised I don't have any pictures to upload to make this make more sense, sorry but I will post picture later this evening.

Couple of auctions here for some of these nice little replicas made by San-s about a decade ago. Boxed opened (and included), but model unbuilt and mint – as are the cute little leaflets.

For Sale is my pretty much as new Tamiya TA05 IFS-R Chassis Kit.
The 'R' version is the hopped up Racing version of the TA05 which was already good.
I bought this a few years ago with the intent of taking it to the VW Action RC Drag Racing however I didn't end up making it to Action that year so it went on my shelf where it has sat ever since.
It's had about 10 minutes of use in total which was the testing after I built it.
It comes fully built, suspension and steering all set up.
It does not come with any electrics (apart from the steering servo which I have left in - bonus for whoever buys it).
Also included is the original box with manual, spare parts and tools.
A few of the features of this chassis are as follows:
Innovative chassis features inboard front suspension with horizontally mounted oil dampers so you can fit extra low nose bodies accurately.
Carbon reinforced chassis and suspension parts.
Updated front and rear Ball Diff Pulleys.
Updated Centre Pulley.
Lots of Upgraded Aluminium parts.
Many other Hop Ups.
It is a very smooth running chassis that is bar the 10 minutes of testing use.... Brand New.
Just add your own electrics, a body and off you go!
£150 £140.... I will consider sensible offers.
+
£5 P&P (within UK Only)
I will post outside of UK but obviously price depends on destination.

I have the same model. It was over 30 years in storage and worked fine before that - now of course the old rechargeable batteries (NiCad) are dead. Other than that it's in reasonable shape and comes with an old RC unit, receiver and two servos (all by Robbe).

If any enthusiast wants to beathe life into it again, I am willing to let it go for a reasonable price.

This was originally bought as a kit from Beattie's toy and model shop around 1992.
I'm after about £120 + p&p.
It's missing the following things:
2 x servos
1 receiver
1 x rear right spring
I don't have the box or the manual any more.
Body-wise it's missing the following (I know I have them somewhere but I spent two nights looking for them and now I've given up):
The vac-formed cockpit moulding plus drivers' heads
The headlight assembly (silver surrounds and lightbulbs)
Left-hand wing mirror
The broken part is the wishbone coming off the top of the suspension column, on the rear right side. I do, however, have the upright bit coming off the top of the turret (the silver rod and collar bit you see in one of the pix).
As you can see it's a bit dirty, and I reckon the oil in the dampers dried up long ago. Always thought they were an odd design...
It had relatively little use, despite its condition. I ran it perhaps 6 or 7 times and I pinched the servos for another kit, after which it stayed in a box.
Oh yeah, and there's a small packet of suspension bits left over from when I replaced a broken wishbone.
If anyone wants to see a different picture let me know what and I'll take the shot and post it here.

Well, with three little kids these days, too much work and life going on, I am thinking of selling my ENTIRE collection, down to the last screw and axle. Problem is, I have a rough idea of what I've paid for things over the years, but not an idea of what I could realistically sell everything for. Here's what I have:
- A completely restored Fox with a lot of spares (including a good set of wheels)and black can motor, box, and all radio gear
- A completely restored Blackfoot with new decals (yet to put on), black can motor, fully ball raced
- A completely restored Boomerang new decals (yet to be put on), black can motor, fully ball raced,lots of spares, full radio gear
- Brand new in the box FAV (opened and looked at, but as it was)
- WRC Focus TT-01 with I think every option possible, full radio gear, box
- Brand new, in the box and never opened Schnitzer BMW M3
- An all original, unrestored Wild One in very good shape, an easy restoration
- A very modified Grasshopper that is nothing but a body and chassis right now. Oil filled dampers, black can motor, Baja Bug-style body, lots of spares
There are also batteries, chargers, extra radios, servos, oil, grease, extra, extra parts... Everything is almost all vintage. It is generally a lot of stuff that has never been fully catalogued. :-) Pictures of almost everything I have can be found in my other posts.
This is not a "for sale" post, this is a "feeler", an information gathering post if you will. Nothing is for sale yet, but when it is, everything will be offered here first before it goes to Flea Bay. I have collected all of these things over the past 25 years, moved with them through college and marriage and kids. This isn't an easy thing for me to do, but I think the time has come to take stock in this collection's worth.

I have a selection of Maverick Scout parts for sale .These are all brand new unused parts removed from a RTR . If there is anything you require then drop me a PM . I will undercut any genuine price on ebay for members and offer free P&P within the UK . Discount for multi part orders . Payment via Paypal only please .
